From "Drowning":
"I knew that I was dying. . . . For the first time in my life,
I uttered a sincere prayer: 'God, please help me.' I didn't
bargain with Him, nor did I suggest how or when He
should help.
"Immediately, I became calm and relaxed. . . . I went to
sleep and slept all night. . . .
"A spiritual experience, I think, is what God does for
a man when the man is completely helpless to do it for
himself. A spiritual awakening is what a man does through
his willingness to have his life transformed by following a
proven program of spiritual growth, and this is a never-ending venture." -
